Title: Improvements in or relating to Davit Apparatus in Navigable Vessels for Carrying and Lowering Small Boats.
Inventor: DOXFORD CHARLES DAVID
IPC: B63B23/04
Filed: 1912-09-16
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 21,046. Doxford, C. D., and Doxford, R. Sept. 16. Boat raising and lowering gear; davits are arranged in a number of superposed tiers and the davits of different tiers have different outreaches. Boats L, L<0> are carried in davits B, B<0> pivoted at p, p<0> so that there is one tier of boats L accessible from the promenade deck P D and another tier L<0> accessible from the boat deck B D. The davits B<0> of the upper tier have a greater outreach than those B of the lower tier, so that a boat from either tier may be lowered independently of any other boat. The davits used in this manner are preferably of the type described in Specifications 15,903/93 and 6131/02. At the head of each derrick B is a housing C containing sheaves for the fall E. A hollow rod G is pivoted to a plate F in the housing, and carries a suspension hook H. To lower a boat the falls are held in a winch end and a pin o removed from a jaw j holding the davit in a vertical position, lever catches N are locked back so as to allow the outer chocks M<5> to fall, and the boat is then lowered, being held clear of the side by the derrick. A block K is held by the hook H until the davit has fallen far enough to tighten a guy Q, which by a trip chain R pulls the hook from beneath the block K. The boat is then free to be lowered into the water. The boat is raised by hauling on the tackles E, the boat rising vertically until the block K touches the suspension rod G, whereupon the derrick B rises and the suspension hook H closes' beneath the block K. The outer chock M<5> is then closed and held by the lever hook N and the pin o replaced.

Abstract: 3644. Beck, C. Feb. 12. Sighting-devices.-To determine the speed of an aeroplane or the like, a sighting-device is used which gives an image of the ground over which the observer is moving, and a moving part of the instrument is then set so that the relative movement of the ground is reduced to zero. As shown in Fig. 1, the speed of travel of a motor-driven belt c is so adjusted by moving the disk i along between the two speed cones g, h that the image of the ground appearing at b is moving with the same speed as the belt. As shown in Fig. 2, the mirror r is mechanically turned at an adjustable rate to make the ground appear stationary. From the image speed, determined by either method, the speed of the aeroplane is ascertained according to the altitude.

The lid f folds back to act as a stand for use of the machine in an inclined position. Each band has at the left-hand end the capital sums of its denomination, and along the strips in roman figures are the interest for one year for the various rates represented upon a fixed scale u. In italic figures are shown the proportionate amounts for a given number of days of the capital sums, which are then. used to give the equivalent interest for various numbers of days. In the use of the instrument, a given capital sum is set by means of the various denominational bands and the interest at any given rate is read by adding up the various partial products below the rate, a cursor w being used. In Fig. 3, the number set is ú45,625 6s. 2d., and the cursor is set to give the interest at 3¢ per cent, namely ú1596 17s. 8¢d. To find the corresponding interest for, say, 60 days, this sum is set up as a capital sum, and the result is read by the italic figures in the corresponding columns.
